The UCLA women’s basketball team earned a No. 3 seed Monday afternoon in the Oklahoma City Region, and will open the NCAA tournament against No. 14 Stetson on Saturday at 10:40 a.m. It’s tied for the highest seed in program history, and has the Bruins — who missed March Madness last year — opening competition with a neutral site in Columbus, Ohio.

UCLA (25-7) should handle the Hatters (24-8) easily, and could meet six-seed Oklahoma after that. In November, the still-unranked Bruins pulled off an 86-80 road upset of the Sooners — then ranked No. 11 in the country. Guard Thea Lemberger, who sparked UCLA with 18 points in that game, is cleared to play after injuring her elbow over two weeks ago.
